Let's Change That Suit Day 94
Day 94 Target: Engage Zero
Requested by u/No_Tart6728 and u/OrphanAxis. I will cover the balance changes tomorrow. Need to check on the detailed numbers and see how it is in-game for some of them. Luckily, I don't have to run clan practice today, so I will have time tonight. As for today's suit, it just needs a few skill adjustments to help enter the close combat range that it wants to be in.
Change
Weapons
- Engage Zero Beam Saber: Melee Combo 100/50% -> 100/60%
Skills
- (New!) Maneuver Armor Lv1
- Aux Thruster Control System Lv1: Also gains thruster usage -20% after 1 second
Comment and Reason
There really isn't much to change for this unit. It just needs a better chance to get into the close range that it excels in. This unit has a very strong melee downswing, and it is the reverse animation of the Galbaldy Beta's. However, that one has a slightly stronger modifier, but making this one do the same would be a little weird. So I'm giving this one a slightly higher combo modifier.
As for the skills, this unit really needs Maneuver armor to go along with the highly aggressive HSM gameplay that it has. But at the same time, while it does have good thrust, the gameplay with HSM isn't helping that much. Even with the possible 10% Aux efficiency part, it still feels a little bad to use. So I'm buffing the Aux Thruster Control just slightly as well to accommodate the high thrust usage.
Overall, this unit has high damage potential for 450 cost, but the lack of ability to properly maintain distance and any chance to ignore interruption makes it horrible to play. 450 has plenty of other good options that can do better.

Day 93 Re-evaluation on Act Zaku
The overall buff to the BR should have enough, but to make it a more versatile and usable weapon, I'm re-adjusting it slightly. It will now be barely within time to accumulate enough stopping power to cause a stagger with the previous changes I had.
Re-Evaluation
- Act Zaku Beam Rifle: (New!) Interval 3.5s -> 2.5s, Cooldown 17s ->
13s15s
